Style Notes

Modern Italian. Walls are semi-exposed, floors are tiled and the furnishings are a blend of vintage and ultra modern. The aesthetic is crisp, clean and comfortable; the building has been sensitively restored, with wooden beams, flagstones and marble all sourced in Italy. There is a hand-crafted cotto floor and local ceramics line the shelves, from a modernist porcelain collection to contemporary pieces. Unique furniture pieces come from Italy’s finest antique markets.

Tuscany Forever is not only the touristic destination it's our style of living and the way we try to make our dreamas come true. The idea of creating Tuscany Forever came across our minds few years ago. We didn't know what to expect but the time flew by so fast that we didn't even noticed how deeply we became absorbed by Italian reality more than we ever thought. Anyone who visits Tuscany Forever understand immediately why we hung on to the hill. The view out of each room windows offers a endless flow of energy. It is easy to explain why we are so passionate about living and working in Tuscany Forever, Volterra . We experienced many encounters, encounters that turn into our style, the views on life and finally now Tuscany Forever project.
